WHAT is FREE TRADE

The Herald. Disseslaafor says
TO those who are re>shouting free trade
In hoarsely feeble accents IN the beliefthat
thereby they are manufacturing wonder
ful capital TO draw votes for future demo
cratic candidates we commend these ex.
tracts from President Cleveland's mes
sage"
win the Dissemiaefor tell us what free
trade Is : No, II will dodge the question as
the Stafesmaa, Sentinel, Elaisdeaisr and other
republican papers do. Except Frank Hurd,
there is not free trader Of any promin-
enee In the democratic party. Does our
cotemporary think the sentiments ex.
pressed in the extracts from the message
to which II refers, are new Ifit does, let
It's editor read the democratic platform up.
on which Cleveland was elected, and he
will sec that these sentiments are in per-
feet accord with that platform. The Dis
semiaafor knows, or should know, that there
are none shouting free trade to get demo
cratic votes. The truth Is that the great
predominant sentiment In the democratic
party favors moderate or low tariff, while
the prevailing dominant sentiment In the
republican party Is In favor of a high, h,radi-
cal, protective tariff This Is the kind of
tariff man our cotemporary Is We
know this only In the fact that he Is an
ardent republican. The Dissemination fur
ther says
"But the advocacy OF free trade, tariff
for revenue or protection straight Is to be
found among those individuals whose per-
sonal interest they suppose will be enhanc-
cd by the theory they advocate irrespec.
tive Of party affiliation. This is fact that
cannot be denied or gainsaid."
Well, then,all this profession of interest
In the welfare which Blaine, Sherman, Ed
munds and Hawley claim to have for the
laboriug man is mere denagogy. AL
their pretense that they favor high pro-
tsctive tariff in order to secure high wages
for labofers Is mere clotted ponsense
Well, our neighbor Is right for once, but
his sudden candor aboutth the matter knocks
!every prop that sustains his political faitt
from under him. BY the way the Dissem
isGfor has long failed to let its readers
know how II stands on the following sub
jects Isit in favor Of reducing the sur
plus now In the treasury of the United
States, and II so how would Il reduce Il
Would 1t make the reduction by making
liberal, extravagant appropriations Or
would II reduce the surplus by removing
the tax from whisky and tobacco,or woul'
it make the reduction in whole or in par
BY reducing the war customs tax upon the
poor mans clothing, blanket, Goa, lumber
salt and other necessaries of life ? These
are burning questions, and farmers, me
chanics, merchants, laborers and other
are seriously inquiring about them. WI
the Dissemisafoy give its views on them

NOT CANDID.

The free trade republican organ at Port
land Is opposed TO any material reduction
of the tariff, except on sugar. II wants
sugar put on the free list. With free
trader, such suggestion Is coagulated
tom -foolery, and shows at a glance that
the organ is neither honest nor candid In
making the suggestion. Every one knows
that the United States does not manufac-
ture onc-third Of the sugar consumed
therein. The foreign manufacturers con-
troll the price Of sugar in this country and
would do SO II the duty was removed en-
tirely. Their eforc the people would not
get cheap sugar, as the free trade organ
suggests, but would have TO pay just as
much as now. The S5o,ooo.ooo collected
as duties on sugar every year goes into
the treasury of the United States and not
into the pockets of the protected sugar
manufacturers of Louisiana. Here the
entire people of the country receive the
benefit of this Sso,ooo,ooo paid as duties
on foreign sugar. Not 50, in the case OF
wool, wooden goods and many other arti-
cles indispensably necessary TO the com
fort of the poor Of the country. On these
articles the tariff is so high that, compare
lively speaking, but few importations are
made Of such goods. Consequently the
extra cost OF such goods, in consequence
of the tariff, goes into the hands of the
manufacturers and not into the Golfers of
the government The Portland organ has
but one motive in fayoring the removal Of
the duty on sugar, and that is the hope of
gaining political advantage in the divi-
sion 1t might create among democrats.
But men who love their country and de.
sire to see it prosper viii rise above all
party considerations in the adjustment of
so grave matter, and will be willing to
yield many of their prejudices for the pub
lie veal. For that reason we expect TO
see part of the duty taken from sugar, the
tobacco tax repealed, and a number of ar
ticles such as salt, lumber, etc, placed on
the free list. Those who read the Port
land organ will readily see that il would
remSve no duty that would affect a rcpub-
lican state and would leave none unre-
pealed that would affect a democratic
state. When this Congress adjourns and
the presidential election shall have passed,
and another democratic president elected
we shall then expect long articles in the
free trade organ expatiating upon the
beauties Of free trade

The Chicago Tribune the abIest repub-
IIcnn paper in the west, has the following
Rnent on Blaine's interview concerning
Clcveland's message:
"Blaine, as might have been expected.
has presented high tariff protection from
partisan point of view as an opposition
iasne to the Presidents view on tariff re-
ductlon. Blaine's interview will have TO
stand upon It's merit and will be endorsed
Or condemned in accordance with the value
Of the arguments set forth, and public iudo
ment win not beinhuenced by the distin-
guished name behind them II is the
weakest ground Blaine has ever vet occu-
pied, and no national party can expect to
70 into a Presidential campaign on that
Issue, no matter who may be its leaders.
The surplus question must be settled in
some way, and in very different way
from what 1t has been settled. It cannot
Be settled in accordance with the Blaine
idea"
This shows that many republicans of
the Northwest as we'll as the East will not
endorse Blaine As candidate, on account
Of his tariff views As well As his genera
unfennss for the ofiee.

Blaine has given his views of the tariff
and surplus question in three column in
terview. He frankly admits that our sur
Plus revenue ought to be reduced to the
sxtent Of $Ioo,ooo,ooo year. He recon-
mends that the tobacco tax should be re-
Pealsd, but when told that this amounted
to only ABOUT $7o,ooo,ooo per year he
would rot suggest any other reduction,
hut contented himself with saying that a
~SurPlus is always easier to handle than a
deficit" quoting from Fred Grant. Mr..
Blaine will see soener or later that the
people are in no mood to be trifed with
about this matter of tax and surplus relief,
- Fred Grant lately found out in New
York. The people want relief and they
will not be trifed with.

Jimmy Blaine has been reading the
presidents message teiegraphed to him in
Paris. lie don't like it. In fact the pres.
ident does very few things that Mr. Blaine
dOes like.UIn fact, Blaine was very much
put out when Cleveland was elected presi-
dent, and he has been In a growly ,comba-
tive mood ever since. Blaine tells his
views about the message and has them tel.
egraphed to the New Y ork IribHae to be
read by the voters Of America as a kind oi
campaign stump speech. II is chock-full
Of demagogism The artful politician is
seen in every line. It's first and last salient
point is a vulgar appeal to the anarchici
sociaIistic element of the country. If It
has no other effect, it establishes the fact
that Blaine is a candidate and signals his
entrance upon the campaign for the nom
ination. He will succeed, and, speaking
from the standpoint of a partisan, we are
glad Of it, for the battle will then be easy
for the democrats.

The Postmaster General has ordered a
mail service TO be established between this
city and Lebanon on the o. & c. railroad,
but the o. & c. refuse to accept the ser
vice for the compensation offered by the
department Thus are we to be deprived
OF a much needed mail service through
the niggardliness or contrariness of either
the post Office department or the rail-
read company. Mr.. Hermann and Mr..
Mitchell will now ask the department to
restore the old star route service. While
the latter is not what the people want, It
would be great improvement upon the
present miserable service.

Republican organs, both large and small,
say Cleveland's message means free trade.
They all know better than this, but the
highest conception they have of the way
In which to treat the message is to gain a
party advantage. Notwithstanding the
recommendation in the message concern
Ing the reduction Of duties on imports the
president has long way to go yet to be-
come free trader. This raw-head-and.
bleody-bones-scare-crow which repubIi-
cans are so won't to hold over the heads
Of timid people has lost all of its frighten
Ing character and they will find it neces-
sary to devise something new to scare
voters into the support of the plumed
knight.
